“10/10 would recommend! High level of communication, honest and trust worthy. I will be hiring Jedan again for any of my overnights and drop ins schedule permitting :).”

“Sadie is amazing! She took my pet sitting request with short notice and was very easy to work with. She made sure to keep me up to date with detailed messages during her time sitting my kitten and even sent me pictures showing him being comfortable and playful around her. She also went above and beyond and did extra things around the house which I appreciated very much. She’s very respectful and professional. I will definitely request her again for my next pet sitting. Thanks Sadie!”

About: I grew up in a family that loved animals and I've had pets my entire life. I know how hard it is to work long hours or be away from home without them. I have spent the last 18 years working with dogs and cats. I have managed a doggie daycare and boarding facility and worked for a humane society as a community outreach manager and volunteer coordinator. Besides loving on all the pets, I spent my time there teaching animal safety to children and providing basic animal care and dog handling lessons to volunteers. I have fostered puppies and helped feed and care for cats and dogs awaiting adoption. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I helped socialize shelter dogs by taking them out for walks, car rides, pup cups and patio time at Starbucks. I have always been the friend you call when you need a pet sitter or help with something pet related. I have two dogs and two cats of my own and they bring so much joy to my life! I love being in the company of pets and would love to spend time with yours. I work full-time Monday - Friday and have a hybrid work schedule. I work from home two days per week which gives me more flexibility to care for your pets. I am available before and after work and mid-day during the week and have more availability on the weekends. I have a lot of experience caring for my own pets, foster dogs, and pet sitting for family and friends. My own dogs do best with having a daily routine, so I tend to keep the same schedule for feeding, medication, walks and bedtime. I will do the same for your pets. My goal is to always make sure people feel good about leaving their pets in my care.
“Andy was great! She stayed at our house for a week and even cleaned and organized while she was there. Our dogs were very happy and didn’t seem to notice we were even gone. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: People have always told me that I am comparable caring even to pets. They deserve every bit of kindness just like people! A safe and reliable environment at your home!

“Kayla housesat my two dogs and did a FABULOUS job. My one dog who is a bit shy took to her immediately, which is quite special. Kayla was communicative, shared tons of photos, and was able to take care of our diabetic dog which requires glucose testing and insulin injections. Thank you for your excellent care, Kayla!!!”


About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands on experience. I’m experienced in caring for dogs and cats of different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I currently have 2 cats of my own so I am very comfortable with cat care, including being able to recognize if a cat may be acting differently than usual. I’m also aware of individual cats boundaries and personalities and respect this. I have also cared for many dogs in my life of all sizes, from beagles to labs to rottweilers. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and am able to provide ample attention. What sets me apart from others is my genuine care for getting to know each individual pet to adapt to their specific needs, rather than treating all pets the same. I fully understand that some pets may be energetic and playful, while others may be shy or prefer a quiet environment. My main goal is to make your pet/pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away in order to give you peace of mind that your pet family is in good hands. I’m currently a law student and work part time and have a flexible schedule, believe it or not! I have intentionally chosen to pursue pet care because I found that I have availability outside of my commitments to work and school. I’m more than happy to communicate prior to bookings to coordinate walks and visits that fit within both of our schedules. I prioritize consistency and reliability for pet care, and will always ensure that I understand your pets needs and routines. I ensure every pets safety and care by following any instructions provided while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. During drop-in visits I will ensure your pets have anything and everything they need, including food and water, attention, and maintaining a clean environment. During dog walks I prioritize maintaining safe handling practices and give your pet my full attention at all times. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect that I would want for my own home.
“I must absolutely RAVE about Madison because she took such amazing care of our pets with incredible, consistent communication! Extra special shout-out because our dog, unfortunately, got sick while under Madison's care, and Madison kept me informed of our dog's behavior, current status, and cleaned up all of the messes so thoroughly! We love her and I HIGHLY recommend her!!!❤️”

“The bestest!!!!! If you want someone to watch your cats and feel secure they’re being well taken care of, get Hanna!! She is so caring and makes the extra effort to make our babies feel comfortable and content. One of our kitties is very shy and Hanna did a great job of respecting her space but also making sure she’s fed/doing well. The other kitty that loves attention, Hanna made sure to give it to him! In addition, she made sure the water fountain was filled and the litter box clean! We are so appreciative of her and will definitely work with her again and recommend her care!!!”

“Olivia took great care of our girls! Both of our dogs were really comfortable with her right when they first met her. She sent pictures and updates each day which i appreciated. I would book with her again next time we’re out of town!”

“Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, we knew Dobby was going to be in wonderful hands—and that he’d found a new best friend. Christian took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and very loved-on pup! We would absolutely love to have Christian stay in our home with Dobby again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

“Becky was so great with our senior dog and three overly friendly kitties while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions and sent tons of updates and pictures. Our critters were so happy and well cared for. She gave us peace of mind and we are so grateful to have found her! Thank you a million times, Becky!”

“Evan did such a great job watching our dogs today! This was our first time having him stay with them in our home and he made the whole day so much less stressful for us. He kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the day, made sure everyone went outside and was comfortable. You can tell he genuinely enjoys animals and cared about making sure they were happy and relaxed. He was also really respectful of our home and even offered to help with chores before leaving which was so thoughtful. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely have Evan watch them again!”

About: I've loved dogs since I was a child! I understand that dogs are more than pets- they're family! That's why I provide personalized, attentive care that goes beyond a simple walk or feeding schedule. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, relaxing stroll, overnight companionship, or someone to keep them company while you're away, I focus on creating a safe, loving, stress-free experience tailored to their individual needs and personality. As a mother I understand how important it is to find a quality care-giver you can trust. That same level of care, responsibility, patience, and attention is what I bring to every dog I walk and sit. My approach is rooted in patience, reliability, and attentiveness. I pay close attention to details, follow routines carefully, and make sure your dog receives affection, exercise, and the care they deserve. You'll receive regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to stay connected to your furry family member. Even though my family doesn't have a dog currently, my children would love to have one. I felt that pet sitting and dog walking would be a good way for my children to see what it's like to have a dog. I will make sure your dog will be well taken care of! I'm able to check on your dog and/or walk your dog throughout the day. I'll make sure your dog is well taken care of, given plenty of food, water, and attention! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around while at my house! I also have children who love dogs. While pet sitting in your home, I will be professional, and respectful of your home.

About: With over four years of experience in house and pet sitting, I’ve learned that great care comes down to consistency, attention, and trust. I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the right kind of attention they’re used to—so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your space, and I make it a point to communicate clearly so you always know how things are going. I approach every stay with the mindset that I’m not just watching over things—I’m making sure your home and pets are genuinely cared for. Right now, I'm working from home and occasionally have to do a few hours at a job site. If that happens I am aware of it and able to let you know via text, or a call. A typical day starts by following your pet’s usual routine—morning feedings, fresh water, and a quick check-in to see how they’re doing. For dogs, that usually means getting outside for a walk, some playtime, and a chance to burn off energy. For cats, it’s more about keeping things calm and familiar—maybe some play if they’re interested, or just quiet company. Throughout the day, I keep things consistent, give them attention on their terms, and make sure everything stays clean and comfortable. Evenings wind down with dinner, another walk for dogs, and some relaxed time so they can settle in for the night. I also send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and feel connected while you’re away—it’s all about keeping things normal, easy, and stress-free for both you and your pet.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Penbrook is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Penbrook
Kayla housesat our dog who has special needs while we were away. She did an awesome job and was super communicative, sending tons of pictures which we love. Our dog can present unique challenges because of her disease, and this trip was definitely not the easiest due to those issues, and Kayla took the absolute best care of her. She was incredibly patient and made sure to keep us updated about everything. We really appreciated how much care she put into her stay.

We Met Brianna on July 19th to Pet sit Buddy for the 1st time, Buddy took to Her Immediately and just loved Her and whatever Fears We had of Leaving Him for the 1st time were completely erased, She is totally on Her game, loves dog’s and is very professional. Her communication skills are on point and was in constant contact with us before and after Our booking, We are def gonna have Brianna pet sit for us on an ongoing and as needed basis moving forward

She is the best pet sitter we have ever had. We never worry about the care and love our dogs will receive while we are away. She always sends a lot of pictures and videos and daily notes about each day they spend with her. If your dogs are everything to you and you miss them every second you’re away from them then Shelby will give you peace of mind with her gentle and loving care. She is also great with older animals or ones needing special medical care. You won’t regret hiring her for the care of your beloved animal companion.

Rachel was great. We communicated clearly and concisely upfront what care our 2 dogs required and she was candid about her availability. Rachel was responsive and respectful - she stayed in our home and upon return, our home was in same condition as when we left and our pups clearly had been well cared for by Rachel. I would hire her again without hesitation.

Tori did an amazing job as always house sitting for our two kitties while we were away for 3 days. She sent photo updates daily, made sure Kat doesn't eat Kit's food lol, and tried new ways to play with them like having Kit sit on a trash bag while dragging it around the room. She is very attentive, responsible, and has a huge heart for taking care of fur babies. She is excellent with cats and even took out our trash and kept the place spotless. This is Tori's 5th time watching our kitties this year. We are so grateful for her.

Jessica has watched our dogs twice now, and they love her! We have extremely attached dogs, and being able to leave them with a reliable sitter they feel comfortable with is such a relief. Our older dog has a bad habit of finding paper to tear up when he’s stressed, but he was the calmest we’ve ever seen him after being away from us for multiple days. Jessica is very communicative and straightforward, we’re beyond grateful to have found someone so reliable and dedicated to the welfare of our pets!

This was my first time using Elaina and I couldn’t have been happier. She was a good communicator, she was timely, very neat, and my cat and dog were very well taken care of. She sent a few pics to show how happy our pets were. I plan to use her again in the near future!!

Jada watched my dogs for me at the last minute after I had someone else cancel. She was great! I have 4 Alaskan Malamutes who can be pretty stubborn. Not everyone is willing to take care of 4 dogs of their size but she did with no issues. She provided several pictures a day. 5 stars will definitely use again and recommend! Thank you soooooo much!

FAQs for House Sitting - Penbrook
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Penbrook on Rover is $48.38 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 808 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Penbrook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Penbrook walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Penbrook maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Penbrook choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
